@SharkStats @dvasishtha Milliman doesn't do this and don't appreciate being lumped in.

@dvasishtha Stop pointing out that Aon/Milliman just take money to print garbage in support of a PE backed Health Tech using their brand as a way to sway the dumb money.

Lyra and Aon just released a study showing that Lyra's mental health benefit drove sustained medical cost reductions over 4 years. Sounds great! But then you dig into the study and it's full of some big assumptions or open questions at best and holes at worst.

@mcscary @PortofSeattle Yep. Now in taxi line. Non stop fun.

@deanakbell @PortofSeattle Coming back from himss/Orlando?

Landed Seattle N gates. Train back to main terminal/baggage broken down. Looking like couple hour wait for buses to get us over. Ughh #seatac @PortofSeattle

I keep a Notion page with healthcare-specific quotes/stats and thought it would be helpful to share it with others. So, I made it a thread so you can follow along👀 (Feel free to contribute)

@rikrenard I need this!

Side project idea: the onion but for healthcare

Each year, the Milliman Medical Index analyzes insurance claims to estimate how much money people—and their employers—can expect to spend annually on healthcare. See the 2023 report here: bit.ly/42d0kOT. #mmi2023

Insurers, drugmakers, PBMs are trying to sidestep arguments about the high cost of new weight loss drugs by painting them as vanity meds, and shifting the cost burden to consumers. bit.ly/42XJiFo via @modrnhealthcr #healthcare $CI $UHG $CNC $NVO
